Biography[]
Background[]
Juliette is the youngest child of Legacy vampire Margot and her husband, the made vampire Sebastian Fairmont. She is preceded by the fraternal twins Elinor and Oliver, the latter of whom was cast out of the family. Juliette knew her entire life that she would need to complete her first kill when she came of age to mark her transition into a Legacy. She resisted the change as her compassion for human life outweighed her innate instinct to kill.
She grew up in Savannah, Georgia, with her best friend Ben. She and Ben were close and dated for a while in Elementary school before they both realized they were gay. Since that time, Ben became the popular kid at school while Juliette was merely popular by association.[3] She kept her family secret from Ben, as she planned to postpone her transition for as long as possible.[4]

Jules falls deeply for Cal the first time she sees her, trying, and failing, to get her attention after that. Cal figures out that she is a vampire and follows her to a party, where they kiss in a pantry after Ben rigs a game of spin-the-bottle. During the kiss, Juliette gets carried away and bites Calliope, who responds by staking her in the chest. Later, during the memorial service for Ashley Stanton, they fight on the school roof. Afterwards, Calliope admits that she fell for Juliette even before the kiss. She couldn't take her eyes off Juliette. Cal only starts to trust her after Juliette saves her from Clayton Cook, and their romantic relationship begins. Their parents try to break up their relationship during several occasions, with Calliope's family going as far as conducting a ritual to sever the psychic bond that occurred when Juliette bit her; however, the ritual failed to sever the link. After trying to give Calliope's brother Theseus Burns a dignified death, she accidentally turns him into a vampire. This angers and hurts Cal, who breaks up with her and promises Juliette that she will find a way to kill her and her family.
